Maybe you ride a different wave.
Maybe you catch another ray of the sun
That I've just begun to feel.
Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
Sail through the sea of sad faces with love.
Love. Love for everyone.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
Wheels keep on turning and turning and turning
And nothing's disturbing the way they go around.
He made me mess the song up when I looked at him... We can show the kids the tape and say, "Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other."
The village idiots in her bed
Never cared that her eyes were red
Never cared that her brain was dead.
In the hours that her face was alive
It was a thing just to be by her side.
I don't believe in hatred anymore.
I hate to think of how it felt before
When anger overwhelms your very soul
It's hard to realize you'll ever know
I notice me. I notice you too.
And there are simple things that we don't even try anymore.
All your thoughts are in another head.
Your dreams are sleepin' in a different bed.
The force that moves you is a circular breath
of life and death going round and round and round.
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are — or what?
I'm not aware of too many things.
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
I really thought I could give it up... But I really love music, and having a creative outlet is really the best thing you can do for yourself.
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be.
When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye.
Philosophy, is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion, is a smile on a dog.
